He made a false claim that his injury happened at work so that he could get compensation
Question: 3104
I had an accident outside of work, and
when it became too difficult for me to pay the expenses for my treatment, I claimed that
the injury happened at work. On this basis, the company paid the expenses for my
treatment. Now I regret what I did, so what should I do?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
You have to tell your bosses what really happened, and offer to repay
what they spent on you because of the treatment, or to let them dock it from your wages.
If they let you off – and if they are in a position to do so – then you need do
nothing more. You are not free from blame unless they forgive you or let you off, or you
repay them. And ask your Lord for forgiveness for your lying and wrongdoing.
